Action on a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt FINRA Rule 4554 (Alternative

Execution Information for NMS Stocks)

April 15, 2016.
    On February 29, 2016, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, 
Inc. (``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a 
proposed rule change to require alternative trading systems (``ATSs'') 
to submit additional order information to FINRA. The proposed rule 
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on March 7, 
2016.\3\ The Commission received one comment letter on the proposal.\4\

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77269 (March 1,

Director and Associate General Counsel, Securities Industry and 
Financial Markets Association (``SIFMA''), dated April 1, 2016 
(``SIFMA Letter'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ provides that, within 45 days of 
the publication of the notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, 
or within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may 
designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and 
publishes its reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory 
organization consents, the Commission shall approve the proposed rule 
change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings 
to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. 
The 45th day for this filing is April 21, 2016.

    The Commission is extending this 45-day time period. The Commission 
finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which 
to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient 
time to consider the comment received on the proposal.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\6\ the 
Commission designates June 3, 2016, as the date by which the Commission 
should approve, disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine 
whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR FINRA-2016-
